Clrhouz is quite the project of note.

So clrghouz (Hub 3), should be humming along now - and on a Raspberry PI CM5 in 
a proxmox VM. These little devices are awesome - clrghouz has 1.2m messages, 
supplying mail to 80+ nodes and receiving and making 1000's of connections a 
day, and CPU is averaging around <10%!

It doesnt have an "outbound" directory, outbound mail is assembled on the fly 
during a session, finding from the 1.2m messages what you havent received yet 
and building the mail packet. For files, the file comes out of an S3 bucket, 
and the TIC file is assembled on the fly as well. I think it was these 
processes that the SSDnode couldnt handle, and the previous server was hiding 
the optimisation that was neeeded.

The backlog of mail and files has been sent to all nodes - so if you are still 
seeing any problems, please reach out *with specifics* - finding specific 
session details to a node is bit of effort, given there are 1000s received and 
made each day.

I'm working on importing much of the fidonet filegate now - so if there are
files that you want to get from there, you'll be able to hook up to clrghouz 
with your fidonet address to get them (if you havent got them already).
